It says it includes 1 yr of unlimited roaming service, alone about $1k.

RUST is generic programming language. Electron is a "webbrowser in a box". So apples and oranges. So what GUI toolking they used. (No I will not fall down this low to RTFA). The 290MB memory footprint still suggest they use HTML/JS there just in a rusting box?

That is to say git's ledger would grow huge with so much churn and hence each local clone will be huge, Ok. Did they hear about Clearcase then? (sic!)

Was the 30k commits a day somehow breaking git? How?

What happened to Fuscia?

Not a chance, they cannot deny entry to a legal us citizen. They can however detain one at the border if some criminal charge can be made.

To the US citizen?

How are they going to prove the phone was not clean to begin with? What if he wiped it up on the plane before even border crossing? Is this still 'destroying the evidence' ? Yea - this is very sketchy. Advice for regular criminals - you just come through with a clean phone. For the rest of us mortal, expect you browser history to be exposed.

Well - but are you still forced somehow to tender the self incriminating evidence? Is 'destroying evidence' equivalent to 'refusing to cooperate' (as in not givin up the password? What if the phone was wiped out on the plane?

Sustained! My ca2008 SunPower (RIP) still works at full capability (or at least not noticeable degradation). The inverters though, are dying (only last 8-10 years due to design issue in voltage sensing circuits, not even power parts, sic!). There are non-replaceable as the SP used non-standard grounding polarity.

Thanks for the article. It does start describing the 3 computers as TTL based with wire memory but then later describes a design move to CMOS for both logic and memory.

Oh dang, TTL? That is power hungry! I guess in early 70s there were no CMOS ICs?

As much as first incident could be considered a mistake and perhaps handed by an apology, the second one is clear neglect and should end up in penalty and remedy.

Out of curiosity I have checked what CPU ISs were available in '77, there was 6502, 8080, Z80 (10x speed of viking's CPUs) albeit all done in NMOS, and NMOS is susceptible to radiation. Hence, the Viking's CPU were build on low-density CMOS discrete logic instead. Also better for power consumption. But I agree that 21th century equipment is designed with few years life span. Use and refuse, but not reuse.

I keep flipping between "he is a village idiot" to "he is village monster abusing circumstances". I dunno. When i see his speeches and behavior, defiantly an idiot, very lucky idiot that is exploited by gray eminences perhaps?
